Great post by a gentleman that obviously knows his way around specialty pistols. I started with Contenders in the middle 70s, then added Encores, then XP's, then one built off a Savage PTA, then one built off a single shot Rem 700 action. A few of the guys I was around had Strikers so I was aware of their trigger reputation. A couple years ago I stumbled across a as new Striker in 22-250 for 300 bucks. After a day or two of deliberation I bought it for not much more than just wanting to see what I could do with the trigger. Luckily for me it was a early one with the roller. I learned a lot about Striker triggers with this one. When I pulled the stock off the first thing I noticed was everything was dry and the roller was stuck. I used Pro Shot friction proofing oil and TW25 grease. It takes time to condition dry metal. You can crank the adjusting screws until your blue in the face and the cows come home but the trigger adjustment will absolutely not respond until you change the torsion wire. This one is currently at a smooth and crisp 39-40 oz. It will go lower but at about 36 oz the safety will not engage. Other than the trigger adjustment his one is bone stock and I intend to leave it that way. It is kind of a ugly duckling but I've come to appreciate it and the left hand bolt off the bench plus I'm not worried about smoking the barrel if I get that lucky. I've sat next to guys shooting the BRX in XPs to 1K, it is truly an amazing little cartridge.
Good shooting to you 6BRX
